A CoNFIsCArIoN SCHEME.
Such Is Mr.. Alexander Sullivans Idea of
Henry Georges Land Theory.


Such Is Mr.. Alexander Sullivans Idea of
Henry Georges Land Theory.
Speech at Chicago Meeting.
/ went to hear Mr.. George because it is just to
q man with a theory to let him state it himself.
At the close of the lecture working man put
this question TO him: Here are two men who
have saved out of their wages 81 900 each. One
put his thousand into a lot. The other has his
in money. Why should the lot be taken from
the one and the money left with the otherl' Mr..
George replied promptly: For the same reason
that it would be confscated if he had put it into
slave" 1t had not heard the question and
the answer I should doubt that such an answer
could be given to such a question. Consider
what ii means. The man who put ST. 900 into
slaves bought human flesh and blood The i'm
age of God was upon the living creature in which
he trafficked. In making that purchase he out

ments which he professed to hold God given. he
ran the risk ofdisposing off the block his flesh
and blood, and he sometimes cared very little for
that risk. He was willing 10 tear children from
their parents, wives from their husbands, to
prostitute both sexes, make sin legal and to
raise above men and women the brutes them

more decent by comparison than the beastiality
which the slave system rendered inevitable. The
workIngman who has invested any sum in tn q
site OF little home is moved TO his act by the
noblest aspirations that blossom in the
human heart. He seeks to shelter the wife and
the children for whose existence he is respon-

We should like to have our contemporary
name a single case of default In this county
city or State. Its intimation is simply for the
same purpose as its statement that the failure
of the Clark county grand jury to indict Mr..
Howard is justifable presumption that there is
evidence to warrant it. This was the plea
our contemporary put up when the United
States grand jury failed to return any indict
ment of the Democratic thieves who stole the
vote of this county. It hailed this as vndica-
ton of Coy ct al. So row its statement that
Republican defauters are not denounced by the
city press is simply an endeavor to bring Mr..
Howard within the category where L N. Pat
tison stands. Mr.. Pattison failed to settle in
full because Fletcher & Shapes and Harrison's
banks failed. No man ever lived who accused
Mr.. Pattison Of dishonesty. There was never any
concealment He never did thing not author
lied by law He made foolish investments in
lending money to certain banks. Had they paid

ard is thief, if the legislative committees have
told the truth. He violated law; he stole money
not only from the State, but from helpless con-
victs whom he terrorized.

A Spring Suit for Deacon White.


There is not six-hundred-dollar clerk in Wall
street who doesn't dress better than deacon"
Stephen Van Cullen White For man who is
three times millionaire, a leading fnancier,
member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the
United States the president of astronomical
society, the treasurer OF big church and
member Of Congress, Mr.. White does dress
rather shabbily. To see him walking down Wall
street, wearing old ''slouch" hat much the
worse for wear. and a suit of clothes that looks
as if Mr.. White was swindled if he paid $l8 for
it, no one would pick him out for the celebrated
Deacon" White. He is Indifferent and not
miserly, and doesn't care to make show of fine
raiment.
Some of his friends in the Stock Exchange,
yesterday, led by A. E. Bateman and T. W.
Pearsall, thought it was about time for Mr..
White to buy an entire new suit, and new hat,
too So subscription paper was started, and in
few minutes $500 had been subscribed, which
was presented to Mr.. White. with the remark
that that would probably be enough to keep him
in garments till Congress meets and Mr.. Whits
begins TO draw his Lay. The Deacon" took tbs
joke in good part, and said he could stand that
sort Of thing if the 'boys" could. He will prob
ably send the $500 to the Beecher monument

A Political Rumor From the Dominion

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 19.-The announce
ment last night that Secretary of State
Chapleau has resigned from the Cabinet
on account of some misunderstanding with
the Premier has caused considerable ex-
element in political circles, as through
his influence in Quebec, Sir John Mac
Donald had calculated TO keep the Liberals
from sweeping the Province at the ap-
preaching election Chap1eau was strongly
opposed TO the dissolution of Parliament.
and was one Of themembers Of the Cabinet
who threatened to resign some weeks ago
on account of a disagreement with Sir
John. Some OF Chapleau's friends dis

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Suspicious Explosion of Dynamite on a
Baggage Car.


Baggage Car.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. ia baggage car
attached to the New York limited express
which arrived in this city at 1890 last
night, was almost blown to pieces by dyna-
mite or some other terrible explosive few
miles east of Altoona, Pa. a trunk was put
on the train at Duncannon, near Harrisburg
and was checked through to Pittsburgh
Mingus was arranging the trunks in the
car and picked up a small trunk and threw
it on top of some other baggage
An explosion followed which lifted
the top OF the car as though it was
made of paper and scattered the fragments
in all directions. The shock was terrible
and startled the engineer and trainmen. 1t
also attracted the attention of the pasSen-
gers and when it was found that the bag
gage car had been almost blown to pieces
the greatest excitement prevailed. The
train stopped and the baggage was
transferred to another car. Mlngus was
quite seriously injured but will soon recov-
er. The Pennsylvania railroad officials
are determined to- sift the matter to the
bottom. The owner of the trunk was ar
rested when he presented the check for his
trunk at the baggage room this morning He
said that he was a Hungarian coal miner
and that his name was John Kagman He
came from Hazleton in search of work and
strenuously denied that there was any ex-
plosive in the trunk. 1t contained ne claimed
nothing but clothing and some matches
Pending thorough investigation he VIII be

Remember, these are communities within
the same county limits, tn some cases
side by side, engaged in the same struggle
for existence, and dor education as one of the
essentials TO an enjoyable existence. BY a
purely artificial division OF territory, by lines
which not be seen but can be most severely

and are often those OF some little clique with

under che most unequal system of taxation

The showing ought 10 arouse public indfgna-

tras1s exhibited IN the statistical tables were
exaggerated in this respect; that they touched
extreme cases only. 1t is impossible, of course,
to make a minute showing of every phase OF the
present sIovenly, unjust and inequitable system
OF managing and providing for our schools. But
in order that the question may be wisely dis
cussed and the presentation OF facts as fair
possible the 0pllowins table has been prepared.

*Returns not quite definite.
We can not see the use of pursuing these
comparisons further. The result is the same
from Alpha to Omega, from A to lizard! Any
one the existing inequalities at a
glance.
We venture the assertion that If these inc
qualities and disabilities were political rather
than educational-if they affected the political
interests or prospects OF parties they do the

redistricting, or a revolution; and that before
next spring.
What is fair estimate of the annual cost Of
good school? We do not mean the very best;
but the least that we have perfect right to
demand and expect in every district if our sys-
tenn is to be more than a farce.
Something follows

We do not care to discuss this statement by
even one printed line OF argument. Any one
whose opinion is worth any thing, knows that
this is really minimuun-and by no means all
that can be desired.
What kind of schools, then, can be expected
in the five lowest districts i've each county re-
ported in the last table?
Examine the following table for the answer:

That's comfortable showing. In twenty-five
counties-representative counties, selected at
randoIn-the average district of the five
lowest valuations raise by taxing itself to
the extreme legal limit, 1892 trifle more
than half enough for good six months school.
No wonder that the chief qualifications of
some rural teachers seem to be --cypherin' and
lickin'."
Take the average OF the five highest valua-
tons (holding still to districts employing but
one teacher); suppose them to tax themselves
equally with the five lowest and then compare
the educational possibilities of the children OF
one with those enjoyed 81 by children in the
other. Compare, Gar better, contrast, the tables
